Sarasota OPERA
Sarasota’s 2011/12 Opera season opened with a glorious Madama Butterfly. As in its 2007 debut of this production of the Sarasota Opera the sets were ever lovely with careful details recreating the Japan of yesteryear: cherry blossoms, detailed gardens and a traditional Japanese home with wood and paper sliding walls and doors. As they are opened Butterfly looks into the distance awaiting the return of her beloved naval officer Pinkerton and his white ship.
The role of Madama Butterfly is sung (matched by her excellent acting skill ) by Soprano Asaka Tamura from Tokio, Japan. This season’s Butterfly felt ready for this major role< The spontaneous applause at every turn, especially after her fine rendition of “un bel dio” revealed that indeed this would be a triumph for the opera star.
Butterfly is supported by her faithful servant Suzuki, with warm Mezzo-Soprano voice, equally well acted by Asian-American Nina Yoshida Nelsen. Barritone Marco Nistico, a favorite in Sarasota of past seasons, warmly interpreted the American Consul Sharpless.
So wrapped up in the story was the audience that despite his excellent voice powerful tenor Rafael Davila even received some jeers and boos from the audience to comment on his character's leaving Butterfly behind. It was a thoroughly convincing story that moved the audience. Butterfly Asako Tamura received a standing ovation for her excellent performance from an audience seasoned by a lifetime of opera from Paris to Milan, New York to London.
In the Sarasota production studio and apprentice artists were well placed introducing some excellent voice performances and acting. The orchestra lead by Maestro Victor deRenzi performed with seeming ease and the costumes and makeup were a delight as always.
Sarasota Opera’s quest to stage operas close to their original versions brings us beautiful voices in traditional settings. This emotionally engaging and top quality production invites long-time supporters and new audiences alike to look forward to another e3xcellent opera season of this exciting company in Southwest Florida.
Madama Butterfly, a must-see performance runs through November 12th, to be followed by the next Opera in a season of five productions on February 11th 2012 . The season brings favorites like “Carmen”, “Lucia di Lammamoor”, Verdi’s “Otello”, and Samuel Barber’s “Vanessa”.

It was a pleasure for German radio show’s host Susanne Nielsen to observe German guest conductor Markus Huber who is originally from Munich (as was composer Carl Orff) rehearse Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Florida Orchestra . In the interview Huber speaks of the deep connection between the work and Bavaria in all its folkloric and historic origins. Huber conducts the Florida Orchestra in its opening concert of the 2011/12 season October 14,15,and 16, 2011. For tickets please go to www.floridaorchestra.org. And now for the interview in German radio show host Susanne Nielsen had with German Guest conductor Markus Huber:

( Hoeren Sie das Interview im Audioteil der Sendung)

About Carmina Burana:

From wikipedia: “Orff is most known for Carmina Burana (1937), a "scenic cantata". It is the first of a trilogy that also includes Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. Carmina Burana reflected his interest in medieval German poetry. Together the trilogy is called Trionfi, or "Triumphs". The composer described it as the celebration of the triumph of the human spirit through sexual and holistic balance. The work was based on thirteenth-century poetry found in a manuscript dubbed the Codex latinus monacensis found in the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern in 1803 and written by the Goliards; this collection is also known as Carmina Burana. While "modern" in some of his compositional techniques, Orff was able to capture the spirit of the medieval period in this trilogy, with infectious rhythms and easy tonalities. The medieval poems, written in Latin and an early form of German, are often racy, but without descending into smut. "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi", commonly known as "O Fortuna", from Carmina Burana is often used to denote primal forces.”
